🚨🔥 FIRST GENERAL RESTORATION… YOU ABSOLUTE LEGENDS!!! 🔥🚨
Alex, Melissa, Elizabeth and EVERYONE at First General… THANK YOU!!! ❤️
Friday afternoon, Big Red came rolling into First General with the BBQ Beast hooked to her backside looking less like a catering company and more like Chef was about to establish a temporary sovereign nation of grilled meat. 😂🔥
Normally Sweet Chaos takes over the lunchroom.
NOT THIS TIME.
This time we looked at the lunchroom and said, “Cute.” 😈
🔥 WE TOOK OVER THE WHOLE DAMN PARKING LOT. 🔥
🥩 Steaks hitting the grill
🌭 Sausages sizzling
🍰 Desserts standing by
🔥 BBQ Beast breathing fire
🚛 Big Red looking majestic
👨🍳 Chef Cooney operating under absolutely ZERO adult supervision
Somewhere between the first steak hitting the grill and Chef waving BBQ tongs around like he was conducting an orchestra…
FIRST GENERAL ACCIDENTALLY HOSTED WOODSTOCK FOR STEAK. 🤣🥩🔥
No bands.
No flower crowns.
Just smoke, sausages, desserts and enough grilled beef to make a vegetarian suddenly remember they left something in their car. 😂
The only thing missing was stretchy pants and a legally mandated post-lunch nap.
But here’s the thing…
Cooking for this crew doesn’t feel like catering an office event. It feels like showing up to a massive family reunion where everyone actually likes each other and somebody accidentally hired an unhinged chef to run the BBQ. 🤣🔥
ALEX!!!
What an absolute legend of a human. This guy treats his staff like family, and somehow he makes the Chaos Crew feel exactly the same way. Every time we’re there, it feels like we’ve known him for years.
At one point Chef almost asked him what time Christmas dinner starts. 😂
MELISSA!!!
The ORGANIZED NINJA. 🥷📋
Planning an event with Melissa is almost suspiciously easy. Everything handled. Everything organized. Everything ready.
Meanwhile Chef is standing beside a flaming BBQ holding tongs like a medieval weapon wondering where his coffee went. 🤦♂️🔥
ELIZABETH!!!
Everything set up perfectly, huge smile (always) making sure we had absolutely everything we needed. This woman genuinely loves what she does, and IT SHOWS. ❤️
And to the entire First General crew — you guys are something special.
Great people. Great atmosphere. Great laughs. One hell of a parking lot BBQ.
Thank you for letting Sweet Chaos roll in, fire up the Beast and turn Friday lunch into WOODSTOCK FOR STEAK. 🥩🤘🔥
Big Red rolled out.
The BBQ Beast survived.
Speaking of the BBQ beast, we really have to thank “The Lot Father” Shawn Turner at Hallman Motors for the use of his BBQ again! You said it once and say it again Shawn true legend!!
Chef smelled like steak smoke for the next six hours.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. 🫡🔥
First General… YOU’RE FAMILY NOW. ❤️🔥
